show preview | 2016 K2016 is expecting to
welcome more than 250,000 visitors
Plastics Industry 4.0; New materials; and, Lightweight engineering. At the same time, there will be a focus on scientifi c
training in macromolecular chemistry and plastics technology. Of course, it is the exhibitions that dominate the
show. In materials, this will range from new pipe grades to additives that promote more effi cient production. On the following pages, we preview some of the materials and additives technologies that are of most relevance to pipe and profi le extruders. (In our next issue, we will focus on machinery developments.)
Arlanxeo, a joint venture of Lanxess and and Saudi Aramco, will present its portfolio of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) – which can be used for PVC modifi cation. In contrast to standard plasticisers, NBR powder is
non-extractable and increases an article’s shelf life, says the company. “In PVC modifi cation, plasticisers based on phthalic
Arlanxeo says its NBR-based plasticisers offer better colour stability and extrusion properties than standard products
acid esters such as DOP are typically used to make these polymer blends softer,” said Luc Briquel, technical marketing for NBR at the company. “Over time these liquid substances migrate to the substrate surface, leading to shrinkage and hardening of the articles.” At K2016, Arlanxeo will focus on its Baymod NXL 3361
NBR powder, which claims to offer better colour stability and extrusion properties than standard products.

Evonik offers a broad range of plastics and additives, and will showcase several at K2016 that are of interest to pipe and profi le extruders. Vestamid polyamide 12 and polyamide 612 are widely
used for automotive fuel lines. The company continu- ously adapts the underlying systems to meet the changing needs of the industry. The most recent is low-leaching fuel line systems – to withstand fuels that contain alcohol. The solution is the innovative multi- layer fuel line system MLT 4800, which offers a large reduction in the content of leachable substances. At the same time, its Dynasylan Silfi n range of
cross-linking agents are used to convert polyethylene into PEX. Dynasylan Silfi n 50 was developed specifi cally for drinking water applications, and helps water piping systems operate reliably at continuously high service temperatures. Silane-crosslinked polyethylene HD pipes are corrosion- and stretch-resistant. In addition,
